Destinations

Overview

Cape Town is perched between the ocean and the mountain and with a national park as its heart, is a place to renew and reconnect.

The “Mother City", as it is called, has the top five national attractions in South Africa that should appear on every visitor´s itinerary.

Among places to visit are: the Table Mountain; the V&A Waterfront, a unique shopping and holiday experience on a scenic working harbour; Robben Island, the former home of Nelson Mandela; the Cape Town Wine Routes and Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, internationally acclaimed as one of the great botanical gardens of the world. It is one of the most popular long haul destinations in the world because one will never be bored in Cape Town.

Table Mountain offers some of the best climbing in the world, and it´s right here in the city. The surfing is fantastic; the diving is cold but good. You could go mountain biking, or go sea kayaking.

If the wind is right, you could fly off Lion´s Head with a qualified tandem paraglider pilot, and land on the beach in time for sundowners. You can shop till you drop at Cavendish, Canal Walk or the Waterfront. There is lots of live music, art exhibitions, museums, plays and even opera, ballet or symphony concerts on all year round.
